Division I Preview

The nation's top 16 ranked Division I Women's Eights according to the Collegiate
Rowing Coaches most recent poll will all be at Nationals this weekend. However,
these end of season rankings underwent a real shake and bake last week. Season
long #1 Princeton dropped to #4, following its loss toYale's Bulldogs at Eastern
Sprints. Yale's victory propelled it from #6 to #2, just behind UC Berkeley's
undefeated lady Bears, who moved from #2 to #1. Ohio State, with its May 15th
victory over Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State in
that order at the Aramark Central Region Championships in Oak Ridge pushed
it from #4 to the #3 slot. Previous #3 Michigan State slid to # 14, and previous
#7 Michigan to #12. Tennessee's good showing at Aramark moved it from #11
to #6. Brown University, with its close third place at Eastern Sprints (only
1 second behind second place Princeton) moved Brown up from #8 to #5, and
dropped Harvard (fourth at Sprints) from its previous #5 down to #9. Stanford,
with its gutty second place at PAC-10s, barely holding off third place USC
by 0.2 seconds, moved Stanford from #10 to #8 and USC from #13 to #10. With
all these late season movements, it looks like a true free for all in Sacramento
among Division I eights. At the very least, we can expect furious racing by
one bunch of ladies determined to regain stature suddenly lost, and another
bunch just as determined to protect what they gained in final regular season
strokes.

Division II Preview

Rankings for the Division II Eights are in stark contrast to Division I,
with Western Washington University the overwhelming choice all season as the
#1 women's crew in that division. In further contrast yet, are Division III's
very close rankings, with Trinity, Ithaca and Smith now clustered together
at the top in that order, but having traded those places frequently throughout
the season.

Unofficial Times — JAMCO runs an independent race timing system
and thus our finishing times are unofficial. JAMCO Race Reports marked “Official”
contain official finish times provided by the Regatta Committee.

these volunteers who are bringing you these race data. On Friday: Carol, Elizabeth,

Color Coding — Real time movements by crews during each 500
meter interval are highlighted by different colors. Gold (yellow) crews are
closing on the leader in the current 500. Silver (light blue) crews are closing
on the second place crew, but falling further behind the leader. Bronze (orange)
crews are closing on the third place crew, but falling further behind the
leader and the second place crews. White crews are falling further behind
all three leading crews. Quite often, when a crew turns gold, it takes the
lead in the next 500.
